Events

RFF hosts a variety of events throughout the year. RFF's seminar series is the longest-running public discussion in Washington on environmental and natural resource issues. RFF also hosts Policy Leadership Forums, where prominent individuals present their ideas in an open, nonpartisan, and collegial setting.

RFF events are usually open to the public and many are also webcast live at www.rff.org/live. Webcasts are recorded and videos are posted to the RFF event archive within a few days of the event.

Join Resources for the Future (RFF) and the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment for the public launch of Confronting the Climate Challenge: US Policy Options. From the publisher: This new book presents a unique framework for evaluating the impacts of a range of US climate-policy options, both for the economy overall and for particular household groups, industries, and regions. Co-authors Lawrence Goulder (Stanford) and Marc Hafstead (RFF) focus on four alternative approaches for reducing carbon dioxide emissions: a revenue-neutral carbon tax, a cap-and-trade program, a clean energy standard, and an increase in the federal gasoline tax. They demonstrate that these policies—if designed correctly—not only can achieve emissions reductions at low cost but also can avoid placing undesirable burdens on low-income household groups or especially vulnerable industries.

Audio and video from the event will be posted online later in the week.
